splotchman Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Update from ESPN.com: Coach Gary Kubiak will have an update on Johnson's chest injury Monday, the Houston Chronicle reports. "They're telling me it's a chest contusion," Kubiak said Sunday. Spin: Johnson was taken to the hospital for X-rays, but the initial feeling is that he should be ready to play next week at Buffalo. We'll let you know if that changes. :Fingerscrossed: :Fingerscrossed: :Fingerscrossed: :Fingerscrossed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splotchman Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Another update from www.sportingnews.com Andre Johnson - WR (rank: 2), Houston Andre Johnson's Week 7 chest injury is not expected to keep him out of any upcoming games, according to the Houston Chronicle. Fantasy Source spin: "They're telling me it's a chest contusion," said coach Gary Kubiak. A.J. had X-rays in a hospital after the game. Kubiak's characterization indicates that the tests came back negative for any fractures. A contusion is merely a bruise. The Texans travel to Buffalo in Week 8. Johnson is on pace to catch 87 passes for for 1,450 yards and 10 touchdowns this season. Source: Houston Chronicle Next 3: SF (20th in pass defense; 234.0 ypg), @BUF, @IND.

Of course now we just need to figure out if Kubiak went to the Belichick school of medicine. Still have my fingers crossed here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splotchman Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 More Detailed Update from Rotoworld: Kubiak: Johnson dealing with lung contusion Texans coach Gary Kubiak revealed at his Monday press conference that Andre Johnson has a lung contusion. "Hopefully, he'll be ready to go against Buffalo," Kubiak added, indicating some concern about A.J.'s status. Kubiak also said Johnson is "day to day," though he says that about all injured players. Johnson will likely miss some practice this week, and may come down to a game-time decision on Sunday.

Capt. Stanky Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) If AJ misses this week who would take his place in the starting lineup? Andre Davis or Jacoby Jones? Leaning towards Andre Davis, since he's the one that has filled in in the past. Any Hou. homers have some insight? Edited October 27, 2009 by Capt.

wolfer Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 ugh, this is a critical week in fantasy. Buffalo sports a good pass D, a windy stadium, and now AJ is hurt? Dare I bench Matt "stump the" Schaub? Naaah... This sucks, there's no way Terrence McGee can handle AJ in coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis would most likely be the official replacement, but if I had to start one for fantasy, Jones is the better option, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MothAudio Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Dare I say, what benefit does this give Kevin Walters owners? He's been a non-factor most of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauders11 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 ESPN's Stephania Bell in her daily "injury update" chat today said that Johnson was spitting up blood on the sidelines but still wanted to play- they had to hide his helmet to keep him from going back on the field. Any injury to an internal organ like that (lung) isn't a good sign- I'm guessing he's going to have to sit at least a week for caution's sake?

Judge Smales Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Was curious about what lung contusion is and based on Wikipedia (and my lack of medical knowledge) best I could tell it sounds like a bruised lung. What it stated was "most of the time lung contusions resolve themselves within 5-7 days", but sounds like it may cause trouble breathing for a longer time after that. Good news here if this is true is we will hopefully know by Friday (5 days) how he is doing. :fingerscrossed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbforbes Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 On a related topic, for all of you Texas homers, what is going on with Walter? While I thought that his hamstring problem was over and done with, it seems like, other than that one game, he has been a non-factor thus far this season. Is there any speculation on the reason for this? What gives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
